## Resource

First, we speak with The Indian Express' Devansh Mittal about an unusual problem faced by e-rickshaw drivers in Delhi, where their vehicles suddenly stop working in the middle of road because they are being controlled by certain Bluetooth applications. Next, we speak with The Indian Express' Parul Kulshrestha about a number of mosques being demolished in Rajasthan's Barmer and Bikaner. She talks about the demolitions, how the situation has brought people of different faiths together, and the reactions it has received. (8:46) Lastly, we discuss concerns over child sexual abuse videos being promoted on Instagram. (16:10) Hosted by Niharika Nanda Produced by Shashank Bhargava, Ichha Sharma, and Niharika Nanda Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
